Driving with Freedom Panels and Doors Off, Rest of Hardtop on... How is it?

[CKUCF]

What type of top do you have? It looks like a hardtop on the back portion but the front looks like a soft top folded back. thanks!

It’s the Bestop Sunrider for Hardtop. I highly recommend it.

They’re the stock markers, painted with spray tint. I do have the clear Diode Dynamics on now, and I like them.

What headlights are those?

How is it driving with the doors and freedom panels off, but the rest of the hardtop on? Or with entire top on and just doors off? Do you notice a difference vs. taking the whole thing off? I want to take the doors off to get the experience since I've never driven with them off before.

For those who do it, Pics??

I have an aftermarket soft tonneau cover on mine and when I took the doors and all tops off, it caught much of the wind and bounced around a lot more. Well, actually maybe the same and I just don't notice it with the back hard top on. I drove with the back seats down too and it was very windy all around. When I would pass semi's on the highway going 60-65mph, I would get this strong wind wooshing (I made up a word) through the cabin which was a bit tough. The tonneau cover helps to store stuff out of sight, but I think takes a beating otherwise. I'm going to leave the hardtop on for good now I think. Makes it easier and faster for me, and I can do it by myself now that I'm single and don't have an extra hand to help take it on and off. I leave the bolts off the doors as well (done this with my other 2 jeeps) so it only takes me 5-10 minutes as well. I leave the aftermarket bolt for my side mirror on the hood so I can quickly screw my 2nd mirror for legal purposes on.

Tried this combination this past weekend )freedom tops off, and back doors off) because I haven't gotten a set of mirrors yet. It got some looks, but was a great ride.

Fun!

Your set up looks very familiar.
Guess great minds think alike. Or is it dump minds think alike?

We do a lot of top off, doors on. I have two 7 year olds that sometimes have common sense. Selfishly I like resting my arm on the open window. We did pull everything off for a birthday cruise. Guide pins make a WORLD of difference on the doors. I put my bolts in the case and have all but forgotten about them. If you are going to keep the rear top on, open the small window in the rear. I REALLY need a door caddy. I end up butting the top and doors in the house and it's asking for a disaster.

Stagecoach mode! Keeps the kids safe in the back.
